Agreed.. and on top of this, some players love playing for their hometown team (like Tavares), while others don't want that at all. Will Makar want to play for the Flames - would he even prefer the Flames and even take a discount? Or would he cross-off the Flames even if they are looking like an upcoming contender, and with a max-offer from them?

I think it is all moot - I bet he re-ups with the Avs. It will be very interesting if he comes to market, however. He will be able to pick his destination with a max deal. If he doesn't deserve a max deal, I am not sure anyone does.
